Mustache Wax by Mountaineer Brand (2oz) | All-Natural Beeswax and Plant-Based Oils for Moustache | No Petroleum Chemicals (Extra Firm Unscented)

This wax works great for the stash. It has no smell for those of you who are sensitive to scents or perfumes. The hold is strong enough to mold and shape.

Smells bad and doesn’t hold!

This is a great mustache wax. I use it every day. It tends to hold firm the entire day even after playing a hard game of racquetball. However, this is a very firm wax. If your wife has a hair dryer sitting next to the sink, give the wax a blast of hot air until it can be worked. Alternatively, what I do is run the water in my sink HOT and let the can sink to the bottom as I shave. Then, I fish out the can of wax and dry it off with a towel. If there is residue water on the surface of the wax, I gently dab the water from the wax with a Kleenex and then apply the wax. It will hold all day. I just bought my second can so I can leave one in my travel bag.

It's basically unuseable. Maybe if someone scrapes a tiny bit with their fingernail and applies it to the end of a twirled mustache it might work. I had to use the end of the comb with force, to shave off a slice and then place that into the lid and apply high heat from the hairdryer and it still barely softened. Applying it to my mustache was a whole different problem and I'd probably get the same experience melting candle wax and working it in, instead. I'm not sure if its meant to be this hard to use as compared to the brands that have trouble holding the hairs in place but its certainly not a go to for me. Which means putting up with the locally purchased brand instead since it kind of works. Two different extremes. It would be nice if somebody made something in between that held throughout the day but wasn't still like cold candle wax after trying to work with it. I'd send it back, but it might just get sold again as an open product. Update: about two weeks later... The company saw my negative 1 star review above and promptly reached out for my address to be able to ship me something as a replacement. I previously ordered the tin with extra firm hold and couldn't use it as described above. They decided, free of charge, to send me two of their 'chapstick' versions, one with a medium hold, and the other with the same extra firm like the previous tin. Considering that they retail these sticks for $16 each, that's saying a lot for customer service. I've only begun to use them and try each one out but so far they are a better experience than the tin was, since I couldn't get anything to come out of it. The extra firm stick is likely waterproof as it lasted through a few showers. I think I prefer the medium hold, which for the most part has held through the day, moreover if I'm careful with recombing now and then. As this can also break the hold more generally. Now, with any of the waxes I've tried recently, I find that heating them up with a hairdryer and applying them and then combing them along with heat touch ups seems to work best. As for the dispensing in a tube versus a tin, the hair dryer seems to make quick work of the end, to soften it, where it can then be applied more easily. I've also heard that the mustache should be free of moisture as that might also reduce the hold, when applying it. I'm not sure about the price difference here between the tin and the stick version, since you get 2 oz. in the tin, but it does seem to work better, so far. I'm changing my rating to 5 stars due to the things mentioned above.

Great beard wax at a reasonable price! Since this wax does what I need, I won't be exploring the more expensive brands. It has very good hold. While I need to comb through areas where I've applied this product, I expect that is true for other waxes.
